baw273 on 20 Feb 08This book features eighteen children who showcase their family. On each left-hand page, there is a photo of the child and their family. The left-hand page also features the child's signature. This book does a good job of exposing children to different kinds of families. It could also help a child, who feels they live with a "different" family, accept and appreciate the family they have. The book also reassures children that they are not the only ones who live in a non-traditional family by explaining family differences from the perspective of a child. A weakness of this book is that it features a lesbian family and a foster family, which could raise questions in younger children.
